There are other ways to come about this problem (like developer tools). I'm pretty sure Chromium has no intention of implementing a global storage mutex and putting all cookie access under it. Has anyone heard anything (either way) from Microsoft? Are there any browsers moving to a multi-event-loop (be it multi-threaded or multi-process) based model that intend to implement this? If not, then it would seem like the spec is not grounded in reality.
